A mulligan is a free shot sometimes golfer when the previous shot was poorly played.

In any life circumstance, it is a doover, a second chance to get something right that went wrong.

In 1929, Winston Churchill lost his position in the British Parliament in the General Election.

When he learned of bribery and suppressed evidence used against him by his political enemies, he tried to expose the corruption. Although Parliament was forced to investigate, it found a devious loophole and the incident was covered up.

Churchill’s mulligan occurred in September 1939 when Britain finally declared war on Germany and entered World War II. Because of his constant warnings about the threat posed by Hitler, Churchill was appointed to the war cabinet and the next year was appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Although many Britons still wished for peace, Churchill’s speeches hardened public opinion against an unacceptable surrender to Nazi control and prepared the British people for a long war.

Churchill’s unique brand of leadership was desperately needed by his country as he played a vital role in the eventual allied victory in Europe. He is now regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century.
